By the way you’re not playing Wukong, but a member of the same race as Wukong that went to find his scattered relics. And this takes place AFTER the intro cutscene.
Okay. This is going to be a long one, you ready? In the Journey to the West Story, the Black Bear demon was friends with Elder Jinchi (a boss you totally missed, btw). When Wukong and his master San-Zang passed by, Elder Jinchi was obsessed with San-Zang's kasaya (a priceless "blanket", as you called it...). Together with Jinchi's two disciples (the fire blade wolf, and fan-wielding snake) they conspired to set Guanyin Temple on fire and tried to burn Wukong and San-Zang to death. Of course, it didn't work. And Elder Jinchi was so ashamed of his action, he hung himself. But Jinchi's obsession with the kasaya made his spirit unable to move on to the next world, so he became the "Big Head Baby" (the one you fought was just a remnant, you missed the REAL Jinchi Boss fight). The Black Bear demon was tamed and taken away by Guanyin Buddha. This story happens AFTER Journey to the West, the Black Bear Demon escaped Guanyin's watch, and somehow got his paws on Wukong's relic. Now, just to clarify, when they say "Great Sage", it refers to Wukong, because he was once called "Great Sage Equal To Heaven". Also, if you are confused, try to read the codex in the game Edit: thank you so much for all the love! I just commented on Afro’s newest video of CH3 where he just climb out of the pagoda realm, you are welcome to check it out!
Maybe there will be a plot twist, he might get reincarnated as the protag but he forgot about his past. Finding the relic might just be him retrieving a part of his soul and memories.
@AfroSenju XL, to understand the whole story on what you've watched at the end of Chapter, you will need to unlock the secret boss in Guanyin Temple. Plus, there's a recap in the Chapter 1 scroll, if you hover your mouse around. Each one explained how corruption/lust affected the monks. To understand more of the lore, go to the Journal. It's written there on how Sun Wukong, Tang San Zang and their group encountered these monks and so forth they turned into yaoguai
oh so the wolves and most of the animals that he fought this whole chapter, they were the monks from long ago? is that what you're tryna say? the got corrupted so they turned into yaoguai?
@@GooneyJib Not necessarilly all the lesser monsters, but the bosses yes, especially the ones with names, they were once monks. Transformations of physical appearance played a very big part in east Asia mythology that, if your heart is corrupted and your soul is wicked, you will eventually take the form of some sort of evil being, most commonly predator animals.
no,An animal can become a human through cultivation, and the more it becomes human-like, the more powerful the animal's cultivation is. so someone like furry is mean weak yaoguai. and someone like really human is mean great yaoguai. in this story,bear is friend with boy, but also symbol the "greed"
I'm guessing the secret boss has to do with the 3 bells? Haven't played the game, btw. Stationed somewhere where I don't have a PC lol Watching this shizz on a tablet.
51:25 this scene is actually a reference to the journey to the west, this monk had an obsession and collection of kasaya which is a robe that Buddhist monk wear, and one day monkey boy and the group stumbled upon the temple, stop by and wanted to stay over, the monk ask to inspect the robe of monkey boy's master, flabbergasted by it he wanted to steal it for his own, at night when he was stealing it he got caught by wukong, he crash out and burn down the temple, that monk was good friend with the black bear btw, since the bear was interested in Buddhism
Lowkey I struggle with bad anxiety and sometimes I really don’t want to be here. Afros videos have helped me want to stay around. Thank you so much bro for being you
Brother we all go through tough times and lows. But you meant to be here. Even if right now you don’t see it or feel it, you have a purpose. We all connected. We meant to build each other up. Glad you are here and I don’t even know you. Keep your head up and stay hopeful for tomorrow to be a better day brother.
Bro u are meant to be here until are loved bro I promise it gets better don’t do something permanent for a temporary problem. Also I don’t know if your Christian but trust pick up a bible or just talk to God one on one trust me it helped me. Just know I don’t know u but I love you
Remember you are never alone bro, I often feel the same way, but deep down I know I have to keep pushing forward..there always light at the end of the tunnel we just have to make it through the darkness 1st..much love brother keep your head up and keep pushing forward, you got this
hey afro this game takes place after the tale of journey to the west that's why the guy you fought in the opening call you the vicious fighting Buddha that's the title that sun wukong got after his journey
@@Gangerworldpeople are saying YOU are the reincarnation of the actual wukong, others are saying he’s a member of wukong’s race who went to find the 6 relics. so probably one of those two.
@@OnlyInDr3ams honestly I think it’s a reincarnation but there are some flaws to that. As far as we know, we are the only destined ones in the clan. No other monkey looks as close to Wukong as we do, or going on the same quest as us to prove themselves
@@Gangerworld bro they literally say it in the intro, the old monkey says "among you there's one destined to get these fucking relics and reunite them" you are not HIM, you are another monkey that conviniently looks like him, bosses also call you "imposter" or the old dude who gives you the spells "you look exactly like him", if that's not clear enough, I don't know what to tell you
For the transformation, light and heavy attacks charge the meter in the bottom right. Once it is full you can do an evade and heavy attack during it to do the special attack, which is a big overhead slam for lots of fire damage. Very useful transformation.
The heavy attacks don’t charge the bar. Only the lights. But the heavy can be chained multiple times. Also I think when the bar is full when you dodge heavy. You get different moves. Cause he has an overhead slam as you said. He also has a flurry move. And one where he leapes into the air and charges down. I don’t know how to trigger which move you want tho. Maybe the dodge direction (forward, side, back).
Also him not knowing these things as the other guy said. It’s cause bro doesn’t fuckin read any of the pop ups. He’ll read like the first three words and say. “Ahhh okay got it”. Like bro read all your moves and upgrades.
@@apexpredator1699left or right heavy is spin attack , dodge back heavy is jump spin attack , forward dodge heavy is the over head slam he’s legit just not reading anything and just playing which he tends to do a lot he read a comment eventually and figure it out .
@@tree_sentinel_ghost dont gotta be. I wanna see the anime levels of film quality i was getting w those videos. I felt like i was watching the MC go thru the training arc that people dont get to see during the 2 year timeskip😭. When he finally beat the stupid albino ape from sekiro shiiiiii i was happy as a mf
AFROOO!! In the beginning of the game you are told WUKONG split into 6 relics. THE BIRD that you received was one relic so that is 1 of 6 parts you need in the game.
He will never think in a valuable way. He will literally always ignore anything he must think about. He won’t read or focus at all because he’s mentally challenged
So there is Sun Wukong and then there is the Black Myth Wukong. Sun Wukong is the incarnation of Wukong before Black Myth Wukong (Sun Wukong is the one you play as at the start of the game vs all the big dudes, he died on impact and reincarnated into you). In this game you are the Black Myth, and it takes you on his journey through earning the title of Wukong again and beyond, following his myth. I got really into Wukong lore a while ago, and he has reincarnated many many times. What happened in the opening has happened on a few occasions. The reason is because one of his previous incarnations ate all of the gods peaches of immortality, all of them. So every time he dies he just reincarnates, and has to earn his memories and title back. Im not gonna go too deep into the myth lore though because it might spoil the game.
I doubt the protag is a reincarnation of Sun Wukong. The Monkey King was immortal and Buddha wasn't even able to 'kill' him. He was sealed and the game takes places after Sun Wukong made his Journey to the West with Tang Sanzang. The relics are what Sun Wukong left behind afterwards.
Wu Kong never reincatnate before this. the punishment bestowed upon him for all of his misdeeds like eating the peaches, drinking the celestial wines, only resulted on him became stronger. Wu Kong has immortality x7 + budhahood. He literally can't die and only can be sealed or in this game, broken into six relics.
@@Imkenneos facts. Most games either do Greek(as much as i like it, its definitely been overdone and overused), Norse or the occasional Japanese to mix it up or for the aesthetic. Chinese seems like a nice mythology to explore more in depth.
I would highly recommend reading the journal entries of each enemy type, specifically the one about the black hill guardian, as it unexpectedly provides a lot of context to what’s happening and more lore into the characters. I hate reading, but man is it worth it to actually know the story and learn more cool background plot lines
the big golden monk is Jinchi who was the chief of GuanYin Temple. the little monk is JinChi and black wind saved him in past. Black wind was the guardian of GuanYin Temple, however, since JinChi got corrupted by power, he got corrupted as well. Fire, Kasaya, and some image on this anime are all reference of Journey to the West. Better to read those stories and you can explore more details from it.
@HelloWilliam2007 the pieces are finally together. I recall reading a comment like this in some others gameplay and reading it once more, finally resolve my confusion. I appreciate it my brotha
You missed another boss lmao, after ringing 3 bells you get teleported to a secret boss, the last bell was to the left of orichimaru and that cutscene at the end wouldve made alot more sense afro, explore a bit my friend this game has alot
You expect Afro to use deductions or simply think before acting. You must not understand how mentally challenged this man truly is. I wish I could speak to him personally to express my disdain for his treatment of fans. You all deserve more than a mentally challenged adult who doesn’t know how to read.
All RUclipsrs do this same thing idk why, they skip over shit they need but then read stuff they don’t, they’re also blind asf and don’t use common sense ever bro 😭
Short story: Black Myth Wukong takes place after Journey to the West. The opening cutscene is basically what happens after Wukong finishes his journey and is being attacked by the Heavenly Court. The current version you are playing is a monkey who comes after the opening cutscene, far into the future.
49:47 the boy was spared by the bear and he was given gold, this started his path of greed and as he grew older he had an obsession over Kasayas which the more elegant and detailed the more expensive they were i dont know if the Bear punished him for his never ending greed. The boys greed caused him to turn into a YaoGuai and boss fight Elder Jinchi and here's how to access it. When your entering the Whiteclad Nobles arena on the left there a path leading to the 3rd and final Bell. Ring all 3 for a secret boss fight
You’re playing as Wukong’s descendant and/or reincarnation in this game, Afro. The journey of the game right now is him resurrecting and becoming Wukong, I think. This all takes place after Journey to the West after the intro, that’s why the current character is a silent protagonist unfortunately.
Afro at 11:11 : "I'mma drink" (while, healing in front of the boss) then proceeding to say "So he's not intelligent..." Me: "Traumatic Flashbacks kicking in from the Genichro Ashina second (lightning) phase."
1:10 Think about it. Goku has no original moves. Everything he has came from someone else. Spirit Bomb, Kaioken, Kamehameha, solar flare, destructo disk etc. Monkey see monkey do. Literally.
To better understand Sun Wukong’s backstory (not the one you are playing as), I recommend watching Overly Sarcastic Productions’ Journey To The West recap videos. They briefly touch upon important parts of Sun Wukong’s journey, which this game takes place after!
Afro, So in the ending anime, the little monk is elder Jinchi, he was once a well respected 270-years-old monk who hosts the Guanyin temple, but when he met the Tang Xuanzang, Wukong's master, he was consumed by greed and wanted to take Xuanzang's kasaya (it's not just an ordinary kasaya but one given to Xuanzang by the buddha himself) for himself, two little monks (GuangMou and Guangzhi, the fire wolf you can transfer into and the snake yaoguai you have beat) suggested him to kill Xuanzang by using fire so he can take the kasaya. However, Wukong saw through his evil plan and protected Xuanzang, elder Jinchi ended up burning down his own temple and killed himself because of the guilt. In the game, he's spirit transferred into a big head golden monk yaoguai, you'll have to hit 3 different bells to reveal the hidden temple and fight him.
I noticed when folks record they miss important spots like after the water fight, but when you don’t record you really zone out, probably get the three bells in the next vid
Thank you for posting same day your getting me through my concusion and physical therapy love your gameplay and commentary keep up your work we're rooting for you
To interpret the Bear animation: It seems like the young boy who turned into a priest was very lustful for material objects which is something Buddhism doesn't think highly of because it taints and distracts the spirit. So the priest's lust for material objects turned him into a greedy and wrathful being who I assume was hoarding one of Wukong's relics. Just an interpretation though, not fact.
It's all in the game. People just have to explore and actually read the bountiful lore provided in the portraits. Jinchi and Black Bear have a backstory from before the game takes place in the novel the game is based on.
TLDR; The Bear became a servant of a Buddhist monk who once sheltered Sun Wukong and his master in Journey to the West. The monk, upon seeing the master’s robes ((called a Kasaya) which were given to him by a God) desired it so much that he set his temple on fire to kill them so he could steal it. Wukong discovered the plot, gave his master a fireproof cloak to sleep under, then used trickery to cause the entire temple to catch fire, killing all the monks there
watching you play games makes me feel like I'm just in a discord with you watching you play the game. your so funny and chill and I'm not gay but... anyways love the content keep it up ❤
Love this content Afro! I'm chinese and have been waiting for this game for years! ❤ I play the game then watch u play it lol. Btw i really recommend u read the codex, it's how u pieces together the story. This is the only game I'm reading all the codex for. It's truly fascinating. Every little yaoguai (demon) has a backstory of how they become who they are. Greed, lust, bad luck, misunderstanding, sometimes even kindness being taken advantage by others. It's many little stories about humanity and the complex nature of ppl. Highly recommend!❤
Not sure if Afro will see this comment, but a word of advise finish your light attack combo fully and then use your heavy with full focus you do way more stagger
Thank you for making longer videos we know it’s probably very time consuming for you but we really appreciate you I could watch your videos for hours you are by far one of my favourite RUclipsrs hope to see you get to 10 mil by the end of next year or earlier you deserve it
love this dude, first part man this game to ez, gets to buddha and then starts getting clapped, now look at him, feeling the struggle. thank god you didnt find a difficulty slider to make it worse for yourself.
Kind of a shame that Afro doesnt bother looking at the stories associated to the enemies after he beats them. They are extremely interesting and well thought out
so the black bear basically is Buddhism , he saved the monke who’s name is called Jing hai, and the in Buddhism to cut tie with the world and reach the highest level of karma he has to wear that cloth which was given by the master of wukong. But because of him and the bear and he was saved by the bear he couldn’t wear it.
I'm not sure if the bear represents Buddhism in this story, I think he's the same bear in JTTW who fought wukong at black wind mountain, and Elder Jinchi wants the kasaya because tripitaka showed him his and then he began to want it. Seeing as Guangmou and Guangzhi are still related to their original character I think it's the same for the Bear.
there are many ways to meditate, but one effective meditation method for starters is to simply sit and recognize your body. the need to fart, hunger, thirst, and gradually work your way towards being able to recognize the tiny things. another good one is to just think. what your body is doing doesn't really matter. thinking is a simple, but great method of meditation.
The prequel to this chapter is: In Journey to the West, the four master and apprentices arrived at Black Wind Mountain. The elder of the temple at that time, who is also the person in the last film, coveted Tang Monk's cassock and wanted to set fire to the four master and apprentices. As a result, the plot was discovered by Sun Wukong, and the whole temple was burned down instead. Regarding the bear and the elder Jinchi, the bear actually had good intentions. In the film, when the elder was still a young monk, he was so hungry in the forest that he wanted to eat frogs and was about to break the monks' precept of killing. The black bear gave him coins to save him, but it aroused his greed and he embarked on a road of no return.
In Journey to the West, Elder Jin Chi has died, but the Black Bear Demon has deep feelings for him, so the Elder Jin Chi in the game is actually the Black Bear Demon who resurrected him. All of this happened after the end of Journey to the West. There are many dialectical thoughts in Buddhism, such as what kind of kindness can truly save a person, and why a person is still so greedy after becoming the most respected person?
You’re not play as Wukong. You’re playing as another monkey called The Destined One who is tasked with recovering relics so that Sun Wukong can be brought back. This takes place after the journey to the west.
"Everyone else reading that you can double roll to get rid of fire when it popped up" Afro: *yells for 3 straight minutes about fire and waiting it out*
I just have to comment that the gameplay were so smooth and made the game looked way more fun. The fights are entertaining and beautiful with u playing the opponent.
Hey Afro if there’s a secret baby boss, u should interact with three giant bell (u have done 2). For the last bell go to the snake boss and on the left side hit the bell it’ll take u to a different location and there you’ll find the baby boss. Reward: some fire shielding robe.

When Wukong and his master San-Zang passed by, Elder Jinchi was obsessed with San-Zang's kasaya (a priceless "blanket", as you called it...).

The Black Bear demon was tamed and taken away by Guanyin Buddha.
This story happens AFTER Journey to the West, the Black Bear Demon escaped Guanyin's watch, and somehow got his paws on Wukong's relic. Now, just to clarify, when they say "Great Sage", it refers to Wukong, because he was once called "Great Sage Equal To Heaven".

You missed another boss lmao, after ringing 3 bells you get teleported to a secret boss, the last bell was to the left of orichimaru and that cutscene at the end wouldve made alot more sense afro, explore a bit my friend this game has alot
Shut up
He has a baby brain he couldn’t look in the abilities page for the upgrade it’s actually kinda weird
@@Chris346logo they keep talking that they don't understand the story meanwhile ignoring any scripts about the story

Can people stop saying this shit? Like yeah no duh it's a SECRET boss for a reason.... not everyone's going to find it immediately for fs
Bro, please roll the fire away when you're burning 🙏😂
THAT WORKS???

Bro if you’re burning, roll to make it go away. I feel like that’s gamer 101. Dude is smooth brain sometimes man
His brain is so smooth even the braincells slide to their deaths🤣
It even tells u when u fight the first fire wolf man
You expect Afro to use deductions or simply think before acting. You must not understand how mentally challenged this man truly is. I wish I could speak to him personally to express my disdain for his treatment of fans. You all deserve more than a mentally challenged adult who doesn’t know how to read.
All RUclipsrs do this same thing idk why, they skip over shit they need but then read stuff they don’t, they’re also blind asf and don’t use common sense ever bro 😭
I see that happen with a lot of youtubers/streamers where they dont read any tips the game provides and pay no attention for some reason
11:14 "Alright he's not intelligent"
Whiteclad noble : what did u say 😂
i have to give props for the GoT theme at the start, 20 seconds in and i recognized it immediately
This game just looks phenomenal, excited that a lot of people are playing it.
"Say Goodnight" as he delivers the final blow to the bear from the mist form.

Short story: Black Myth Wukong takes place after Journey to the West. The opening cutscene is basically what happens after Wukong finishes his journey and is being attacked by the Heavenly Court.
The current version you are playing is a monkey who comes after the opening cutscene, far into the future.
1:15 somebody tell this man he’s not playing as wukong 🙏
I thought that I was like ain't dude get sealed. He gotta pay attention 😂
The stareoffs and slow walking on boss fights in this game is cold af
49:47 the boy was spared by the bear and he was given gold, this started his path of greed and as he grew older he had an obsession over Kasayas which the more elegant and detailed the more expensive they were i dont know if the Bear punished him for his never ending greed. The boys greed caused him to turn into a YaoGuai and boss fight Elder Jinchi and here's how to access it.
When your entering the Whiteclad Nobles arena on the left there a path leading to the 3rd and final Bell. Ring all 3 for a secret boss fight
You’re playing as Wukong’s descendant and/or reincarnation in this game, Afro. The journey of the game right now is him resurrecting and becoming Wukong, I think.
This all takes place after Journey to the West after the intro, that’s why the current character is a silent protagonist unfortunately.
Roll to cleanse fire. Get your focus points up. Use the smash stance and get the three focus points for it. Helped me out A LOT.
“Gara of the sand” lol
Afro at 11:11 : "I'mma drink" (while, healing in front of the boss) then proceeding to say "So he's not intelligent..."
Me: "Traumatic Flashbacks kicking in from the Genichro Ashina second (lightning) phase."
40 MINUTES TILL AN HOUR?? YES PLEASE 🎉🎉🎉🎉
ngl he is hella entertaining to watch
4:08 getting some backshots in is nasty work 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As someone who can't afford a setup to play the game, thank you so much for this afro 🙏🏻
Yessir Back to Back daily uploads 🔥🔥🔥
That big foreheaded baby and wold caught them hands last vid 😂😂😂
I didnt understand what bro said either afro, W chapter tho
22:56 that dodge was too clean 🤧
2nd episode better then the 1st one, CINEMA!
1:10 Think about it. Goku has no original moves. Everything he has came from someone else. Spirit Bomb, Kaioken, Kamehameha, solar flare, destructo disk etc. Monkey see monkey do. Literally.
Super saiyan 3 and up??

@@MasterBlade111 u could see it both ways because there’s so many variations of it
You just opened my third eye bro
@@Shad0wIiZz That was just him improving on super saiyan, which arguably isn't a technique
brother, rolling when you're on fire extinguishes the flames.
Damn at 36:10 I think Afro activated his second phase way sooner. I didn’t even know you could do that
Yeah, I noticed that too and was confused on how he did it. I fought that bear at least 10 times and that never happened.
Probably since it’s not a second phase idk why people think it is it’s not like White clad how is it considered a second phase boss lol
To better understand Sun Wukong’s backstory (not the one you are playing as), I recommend watching Overly Sarcastic Productions’ Journey To The West recap videos. They briefly touch upon important parts of Sun Wukong’s journey, which this game takes place after!
That's definitely one of the better explanation videos of the myths
Btw Afro, the 3rd bell was on the left in the place where you fought the Whiteclad Noble.its a path that leads ro some wolves and the bell
Damn dude. This emotional ride's making my heart rate go above high. Keep up Afro!
Evening gentlemen
good day sir
Evening
Yooo
How do you do, kind sir?
Evening
Black Myth just means dark and gritty story telling but I also love the fact that you never went back a true Afro experience.
I dont understand how Afro isnt understanding the base of the story after the intro
These longer uploads are so peak, really different kind of energy from the usual while still being really well paced. Shit is good vibes.
Afro, So in the ending anime, the little monk is elder Jinchi, he was once a well respected 270-years-old monk who hosts the Guanyin temple, but when he met the Tang Xuanzang, Wukong's master, he was consumed by greed and wanted to take Xuanzang's kasaya (it's not just an ordinary kasaya but one given to Xuanzang by the buddha himself) for himself, two little monks (GuangMou and Guangzhi, the fire wolf you can transfer into and the snake yaoguai you have beat) suggested him to kill Xuanzang by using fire so he can take the kasaya. However, Wukong saw through his evil plan and protected Xuanzang, elder Jinchi ended up burning down his own temple and killed himself because of the guilt. In the game, he's spirit transferred into a big head golden monk yaoguai, you'll have to hit 3 different bells to reveal the hidden temple and fight him.
The long form videos for the animes are great. The one-off videos are good length, but these 40+ minute playthroughs I AM HERE for
The “I am the monkey” is crazy work…crash out imminent type shi
u are so good, literally the best streamer at this game, so natural and quick to learn.
I noticed when folks record they miss important spots like after the water fight, but when you don’t record you really zone out, probably get the three bells in the next vid
I love the fact that there alot different side bosses. Definitely keep exploring afro there so many secrets just in chapter 1
That misty step against the bear was clean😂
Thank you for posting same day your getting me through my concusion and physical therapy love your gameplay and commentary keep up your work we're rooting for you
To interpret the Bear animation: It seems like the young boy who turned into a priest was very lustful for material objects which is something Buddhism doesn't think highly of because it taints and distracts the spirit. So the priest's lust for material objects turned him into a greedy and wrathful being who I assume was hoarding one of Wukong's relics. Just an interpretation though, not fact.
he desires the robes, and the bear represents greed
It's all in the game. People just have to explore and actually read the bountiful lore provided in the portraits. Jinchi and Black Bear have a backstory from before the game takes place in the novel the game is based on.
@@tulpasconstructor2711i ain't doing allat exploring
Bruh do you know how many brain cells it takes to even understand souls games lore? Elden ring for example. I do not understand that shi tbh
TLDR; The Bear became a servant of a Buddhist monk who once sheltered Sun Wukong and his master in Journey to the West. The monk, upon seeing the master’s robes ((called a Kasaya) which were given to him by a God) desired it so much that he set his temple on fire to kill them so he could steal it. Wukong discovered the plot, gave his master a fireproof cloak to sleep under, then used trickery to cause the entire temple to catch fire, killing all the monks there
Imma always love these 30+ min videos💯
45:42 "Say goodnight" is tooo cold 😭😭
I was just gonna do this!
I love this.. i love how you enjoy the boss battle. Take your time, assess enemy moves and going in attack and parry. Love it. New sub
27:47 Ok, bro, you won the grand prize. I might actually die of laughter, this time. 🤣🤣🤣
watching you play games makes me feel like I'm just in a discord with you watching you play the game. your so funny and chill and I'm not gay but... anyways love the content keep it up ❤
Bro you need to explore more🤣🤣 you missed the last bell
Love this content Afro! I'm chinese and have been waiting for this game for years! ❤ I play the game then watch u play it lol.
Btw i really recommend u read the codex, it's how u pieces together the story. This is the only game I'm reading all the codex for. It's truly fascinating. Every little yaoguai (demon) has a backstory of how they become who they are. Greed, lust, bad luck, misunderstanding, sometimes even kindness being taken advantage by others. It's many little stories about humanity and the complex nature of ppl. Highly recommend!❤
Not sure if Afro will see this comment, but a word of advise finish your light attack combo fully and then use your heavy with full focus you do way more stagger
Thank you for making longer videos we know it’s probably very time consuming for you but we really appreciate you I could watch your videos for hours you are by far one of my favourite RUclipsrs hope to see you get to 10 mil by the end of next year or earlier you deserve it
How long y’all think it’s gone take before my boy Afro figures out he ain’t playing as Wukong
love this dude, first part man this game to ez, gets to buddha and then starts getting clapped, now look at him, feeling the struggle. thank god you didnt find a difficulty slider to make it worse for yourself.
“And now he can summon blankets”
Underrated commentary 😭🤣💀
Kind of a shame that Afro doesnt bother looking at the stories associated to the enemies after he beats them. They are extremely interesting and well thought out
so the black bear basically is Buddhism , he saved the monke who’s name is called Jing hai, and the in Buddhism to cut tie with the world and reach the highest level of karma he has to wear that cloth which was given by the master of wukong. But because of him and the bear and he was saved by the bear he couldn’t wear it.
@afrosenju
I'm not sure if the bear represents Buddhism in this story, I think he's the same bear in JTTW who fought wukong at black wind mountain, and Elder Jinchi wants the kasaya because tripitaka showed him his and then he began to want it. Seeing as Guangmou and Guangzhi are still related to their original character I think it's the same for the Bear.
Thank you brother
For making these longer bro blessed 🙏🏽
21:30 bro didn't wait 500 years for you to freeze him lol
Once this game was released I didn't know which streamer playthrough to watch.
Thankfully Afro's vids dont disappoint
YOU MISSED A SECRET BOSS. You needed to check the left path after you beat the white noble snake dude. There’s another bell there.
He’s rushing the game obviously bro is too hype he can’t even read descriptions and gets upset he can’t deflect
there are many ways to meditate, but one effective meditation method for starters is to simply sit and recognize your body. the need to fart, hunger, thirst, and gradually work your way towards being able to recognize the tiny things. another good one is to just think. what your body is doing doesn't really matter. thinking is a simple, but great method of meditation.
“should i ring the bell? it’s too late now.”
visions of sekiro…
Afro I love the longer videos, more time to laugh and enjoy your journey to godhood
Bro, are you ever going to use your sparks? Lol
He intentionally didn’t look at the column about deflecting and also doesn’t understand items idky he went baby brain w this game it’s a rpg
Please make these videos an hour long. They’re so fun to watch
The prequel to this chapter is: In Journey to the West, the four master and apprentices arrived at Black Wind Mountain. The elder of the temple at that time, who is also the person in the last film, coveted Tang Monk's cassock and wanted to set fire to the four master and apprentices. As a result, the plot was discovered by Sun Wukong, and the whole temple was burned down instead. Regarding the bear and the elder Jinchi, the bear actually had good intentions. In the film, when the elder was still a young monk, he was so hungry in the forest that he wanted to eat frogs and was about to break the monks' precept of killing. The black bear gave him coins to save him, but it aroused his greed and he embarked on a road of no return.
In Journey to the West, Elder Jin Chi has died, but the Black Bear Demon has deep feelings for him, so the Elder Jin Chi in the game is actually the Black Bear Demon who resurrected him. All of this happened after the end of Journey to the West. There are many dialectical thoughts in Buddhism, such as what kind of kindness can truly save a person, and why a person is still so greedy after becoming the most respected person?
40 mins to 50 is what we need. i need more mins of entertainment at work
You’re not play as Wukong. You’re playing as another monkey called The Destined One who is tasked with recovering relics so that Sun Wukong can be brought back. This takes place after the journey to the west.
He dont be paying attention 😂
hope we make it to 30k likes. you're my favorite person to watch. You're super entertaining
Afro, for the love of god you do not play as Wukong it’s a different monkey 😂
"Everyone else reading that you can double roll to get rid of fire when it popped up"
Afro: *yells for 3 straight minutes about fire and waiting it out*
game's lore takes place AFTER the main canon novel
I just have to comment that the gameplay were so smooth and made the game looked way more fun. The fights are entertaining and beautiful with u playing the opponent.
Man Afro is missing every hint that we are not Wukong the game is basically out right telling him
Hey Afro if there’s a secret baby boss, u should interact with three giant bell (u have done 2). For the last bell go to the snake boss and on the left side hit the bell it’ll take u to a different location and there you’ll find the baby boss. Reward: some fire shielding robe.
He only rang one bell, im kinda mad… one was at the snake guy and the other was at the poison snake guy
He rang the poison snake bell. Did bro even watch the video
@@apexpredator1699 i just realised it was exactly when i went to grab some snacks and water -.- my bad
I'm here for the longer videos for sure!
Completely missing the deflect at the start had me screaming 😭
It’s insane like is he a child? Does he do it on purpose
Tip 1: always check around boss areas. They hide stuff in them sometimes
Tip 2: transformation has the big move when focus bar is full
And he gotta figure the deflect thing out 😂🤦🏽♂️
It’s not difficult tbh I think he’s rage baiting he doesn’t even try to switch stances
Bro did the fire boss without the fire cape 😂 insane strat
Every time Afro thinks he’s playing as wu kong
